Linking hIAPP misfolding and aggregation with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a structural perspective by Hassan, Shahab, White, Kenneth, Terry, Cassandra

“…In this review, we have summarised our current understanding of what causes hIAPP to misfold, what conformations are found in different parts of the body with a particular focus on what is known about the structure of hIAPP and how this links to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Understanding the molecular basis behind these misfolding events is essential for understanding the role of hIAPP to develop better therapeutics since type 2 diabetes currently affects over 4.9 million people in the UK alone and is predicted to increase as our population ages.…”
